Create workspaces from OAI-PMH links

[wrznr]

Many libraries deliver METS files via a machine-readable OAI-PMH interface. E.g.,

with https://digital.slub-dresden.de/oai/?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=mets&identifier=oai:de:slub-dresden:db:id-497166623

Such links are not compatible with the ocrd workspace clone command. Since the direct link to the METS file is not provided, it is hard to create a workspace in this context. It would be fantastic if a harvesting option for OAI-PMH could be directly provided by ocrd.

Yes, definitely an important task that I needed myself in the past!

I don't understand this issue. https://digital.slub-dresden.de/oai/?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=mets&identifier=oai:de:slub-dresden:db:id-497166623 is the direct link to the METS.

It's not the METS itself, it's a OAI-PMH GetRecord response.

Which contains the METS ;)

@wrznr and me want an easy way to create a workspace from such a OAI-PMH response, i.e. make unwrapping the METS work with clone.

I assume this was fixed exhaustively by #581?

I think this can be closed, as it's working fine:
